- Description
- A disc image file format that contains exact duplicate data from an original CD/DVD and is based on the ISO-9660 Standard. It stores images, directory structures, file attributes, boot code, and any other filesystem information.
- The SWM file format, or Split Windows Imaging Format File, is a type of disk image file used by Microsoft Windows for system deployment, backup, and recovery purposes. It is essentially a variation of the WIM (Windows Imaging Format) file, but with a key difference: it is split into multiple smaller files, rather than being a single large file. This splitting feature makes SWM files particularly useful for distributing a large system image across multiple storage media, such as DVDs or USB drives.
